GEARING FOR CANE-MILLS.

No. 848,025. Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 26, 1904. Serial No. 218,230.

Patented March 26, 1907.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OI-IN PORTER. GOLDEN, a resident of Columbus, inthe county of Muscogee and State of Georgia, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Gearing for Cane-Mills; and I do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

My inventionrelates to an improved gearing for horizontal cane-mills,the object of the invention being to provide an improved gearing whichwill economize space and in which the gears are fully protected; and theinvention consists in certain novel features of construction andcombinations and arrangements of parts, as will be more fullyhereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan View illustrating myimprovements and ,Fig. 2 is a view in end elevation with gear-casingbroken away.

My invention is designed as an improve ment over the ordinary style ofhorizontal power cane-mills with self-contained gearing where thecircumferential speed of the rolls crushing the cane is approximatelytwentyfive feet per minute, while the pulley driving of the frame of acane-mill with which my improvements are intended for use) adriving-shaft I and a driven shaft J are mounted, and over these shaftswick oiling-caps G are placed. A pulley A is secured to the projectingend of shaft I and receives motion from any convenient source of power.A pinion B is secured to the shaft I between the bearings thereof andtransmits motion to a gear 0, secured to the shaft J, between thebearings of the latter. A pinion D is secured to one end of the shaft Jand is preferably of the same diameter as the pinion B, and this pinionD meshes with a large internal gear E on the journal of the mill-roll L.A gear cover or housing H incloses the gears B and C.

By constructing my improvements as above explained the gearing isrendered more compact, as it is narrower, and the gears are fullyprotected from any accumulation of material which might otherwisecollect thereon.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Lettors Patent, is

In gearing for cane-mills, the combination with a bed-plate, of paralleldriving and driven shafts mounted on said bed-plate, two bearings on thebed-plate for each of said the train runs approximately one hundredshafts, a pinion on the driving-shaft between and seventy-five,double-geared. This style the bearings thereof, a gear on the driven ofgearing usually consists of a small gear on shaft between the bearingsthereof and meshthe pulley-shaft gearing into a larger gear on 1 ingwith said pinion, a housing inclosing said the pinion-shaft, withanother small gear on pinion and gear, an internally-toothed gear thepinion-shaft end gearing into a large gear to be secured to the shaft ofthe large crushingon the main crushing-roll shaft, and with a roll ofthe mill, a pinion on the inner end of gear at the oppositeend engagingtwo smaller-' the driven shaft and meshing with said geared rolls incontact with large roll. The internallytoothed gear, and a pulley on theusual construction is to leave the gearing outer end of thedriving-shaft. entirely exposed, and my improved style of In testimonywhereof I have signed this gearing is designed by its relative locationto specification inthe presence of two subscribmake a narrower mill,with the large internal 1 ing witnesses.
